Each chapter includes illustrative examples and a set of exercises that allows readers to test their understanding of the topic. The book, written for graduate students in the social sciences, public health, and education, offers a practical approach to making sociological sense out of a body of quantitative data. The book also will be useful to more experienced researchers who need a readily accessible handbook on quantitative methods.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe author has posted stata files, updates and data sets at his website http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/Treiman-stata-files-data-sets.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eDonald J.
